Ji Tang

Chapter 665 Civil and Military Competition
"But as for whether it will be effective, I can't guarantee that."

Ji Song said a lot. As far as he knew, shark cartilage powder was indeed effective, but he didn't know how effective it was.

"Immediately send an order to Dengzhou Governor Yao Chang to go out to sea to catch sharks and send them to Chang'an as quickly as possible without any mistakes!" Li Shimin issued the order.

He didn't care if it was useful or not, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would do it.

"Wait a minute!"

Ji Song stopped Chen Shou and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, because what we need is cartilage, but the characteristics of cartilage determine that it is destined not to be preserved for a long time, so it must be alive, so as to ensure the activity of the cartilage and the efficacy of the medicine. better."

"Must be alive?" Li Shimin hesitated.

He knew about sharks. They were huge and extremely aggressive. They were simply the overlord of the sea.

The dead ones are easier to say, but the living ones are...
"Your Majesty, please take back your life! If there are casualties due to my fault, I will not feel at ease even if I am cured."

Then he said to Ji Song: "I am too greedy. It doesn't matter if this disease cannot be cured!"

He knew that dead sharks were easy to come by, and he could get them no matter the cost.

But he couldn't survive. He knew how ferocious the shark was. It was not an exaggeration to say it was a ferocious beast in the sea.It would be extremely difficult to catch him alive.

Furthermore, even if it was captured alive at a great cost, the cost of transporting it to Chang'an would be sky-high.

If you have to sacrifice others in order to cure your own disease, it doesn’t matter if the disease is not cured!
"Wei Gong, wait a moment!"

Hearing this, Ji Song smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this. In ancient times, there was Hua Tuo's Ma Fei Powder, and I heard that Daozhang Sun had already prepared it."

Everyone was confused at first, and then their eyes lit up.

"You mean to knock the shark down and then transport it to Chang'an?" Yuchi Gong said with wide eyes.

Ji Song nodded: "That's right! In this way, no matter how ferocious it is, it still doesn't allow me to take whatever I want?"

Wei Zheng said: "But that Ma Fei Powder can render the shark unconscious?"

"Don't worry. If we can't do it with one pound, then we can weigh ten or a hundred pounds. Even the most ferocious beast has to be brought down!"

Everyone was astonished, what's the matter?

But think about it, just like drinking, one pound is not enough, wouldn’t ten pounds be enough?

"Okay, okay, I'll let someone do it right now."

Li Shimin was very happy that there were fewer and fewer old ministers. Although he also hated Wei Zheng, he also knew that Wei Zheng was always selfless and only for the good of the Tang Dynasty.

Regardless of anything else, this is enough.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wei Zheng wanted to salute Li Shimin, but he bowed in the wrong direction.

Chen Shou quickly avoided it and said in a panic: "Your Majesty is over there, you are in the wrong direction."

"Hahaha"

Everyone burst out laughing at this scene, not to mention how embarrassed Wei Zheng was.

Everyone in the hall saw the emperor chatting and laughing with the generals there, and jealousy arose in their eyes.

It seems that the idea of ​​alienating the emperor from the generals was a bit taken for granted.

During the Tang Dynasty, the boundaries between civil and military officials were not very clear. The appointment of generals and ministers was a common practice during the Li Zhi period, and this was the case until the fall of the Tang Dynasty.

This may be the reason why Datang has always been strong!
However, things must turn against each other when they are extreme. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, he became a military general and worshiped him as a military general.Think about the separatist vassal regimes in later generations. It was a real killing, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, blood flowed into rivers, and the emperor became their toy.

The characteristic of military officials is that they are domineering, and there are very few generals who are not domineering.He dares to resist when he is slightly unsatisfied, but when he encounters the Holy Son of Heaven, he may learn to restrain himself.But when it comes to the mediocre and cowardly, who can look down on these people?

"Today is the Lantern Festival, with wine, meat and beauties. If there are no poems, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the scenery? People think that the Tang Dynasty only knows martial arts but not culture and education?"

A middle-aged official stood up and said.

Everyone who was talking to the emperor was stunned, and they were all a little confused.

"Who is this person?"

Ji Song confirmed that he had never seen this person before, but his demeanor showed that he was not an ordinary person!
Although Wei Zheng couldn't see clearly, his ears were getting better and better, and he immediately recognized who this person was.

"Chu Suiliang!"

As if he knew Ji Song's doubts, he said: "In the 12th year of Zhenguan, this man served as a living minister, specializing in recording the emperor's words and deeds. In the [-]th year of Zhenguan, Yu Shinan passed away. I saw that he had some talents, so I recommended him to your Majesty. Your Majesty ordered He is the "Servant of the Book"."

"This person's calligraphy is good, especially Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. I have copied it since I was a child, and I already have some elegance."

Chu Suiliang!

He knows this great talent, he will be the prime minister in the future!
In the early period of Li Zhi's reign, he was a very popular figure, and he and Changsun Wuji were called Yu Liang for a while.

But the end seemed not to be good. In the sixth year of Yonghui, Li Zhi wanted to make Wu Zhaoyi, later Wu Zetian, queen. He strongly opposed it, but was demoted.

Although he was revived later, he was demoted to the local government many times.

Finally, in the second year of Xianqing, he was falsely accused of rebellion by Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, and Wu Zetian, and was demoted to Aizhou.

That is now Tsinghua University in Vietnam.

He was very miserable in his later years. Even if Shuyan was credited for his achievements that day, he was ignored by Li Zhi and died of old age.

What if you thought it was over?

No, Wu Zetian still did not let him go and exiled his family to Aizhou.It can be seen that if a woman remembers a grudge, it really has nothing to do with a man.

"What does he want to do? Is he so blind?"

Ji Song clicked his tongue and said, "No one else said anything. What's the point of a little servant? He's not afraid of being resented? What's more, he's the one you recommended. This is too disrespectful. Didn't he see you here?" "

Wei Zheng didn't care at all about Ji Song's sarcasm!

"I only recommended him because I thought he had some talent. I just recommended him out of public interest. I haven't spoken to him much on weekdays. I didn't see him when I came to see him."

Ji Song gave a thumbs up to express his admiration!

This person is holding a grudge. He comes to see you with good intentions, but you don't even let him in. This is outright contempt, and you can't blame him.

At this time, Li Shimin also noticed the rivalry between the civil and military factions, but had no intention of intervening.

Power lies in balance. He can just be a referee. What does the rest have to do with him?
Li Shimin returned to his seat, waved his hand and said, "What Chu Qing said is absolutely true. Tonight is a beautiful day, with beautiful food and beautiful people. How can we not have poetry to add to the fun?"

"Your Majesty, write quickly and let everyone know that our Tang Dynasty not only has unrivaled cavalry, but also a prosperous civilization."

"If you pass on my will and write poems that are recognized by everyone, I will reward you with ten altars of fine wine and a beautiful woman."

Li Shimin was just watching the excitement and didn't mind the trouble, so he actually started to instigate it.

Needless to say, Wen Chen has already begun to roll up his sleeves and prepare for a big fight.

In terms of martial arts, they are indeed not as good as those warriors, but when it comes to poetry and poetry, they can defeat military commanders for ten streets without even taking them.

They're going to decide tonight's lottery.
